We use the converter boxes for the over the air digital TV signals - and we get the signal break up during heavy winds, snow, rain storms - those things affect the signal coming though the air waves and weakens it.

But if I was paying a monthly bill for TV service - it would be even more irritating.


Funny thing to note
- the Zenith converter boxes get better reception most times with plain rabbit ear antennas than our new Toshiba HD TV with tuner built in and the roof top antenna. And rooftop ant is aimed for best reception.

But another brand of converter box was horrible returned it right away!
- that was before I researched to find the top rated boxes.
